Because my marriage would be undermined. What about my right to happiness, asshole?

"There is nothing like it on the shelf," Maeve Egner of Fusion Marketing, the company hired to help market SpermCheck, told Bloomberg. "It's plugging a gap."

I, too, was in attendance. It was funny. I hope for them to play the Tampa Theatre again. Excellent venue and an excellent show. It is worth having a copy. PM me if interested or just go to the archive.

Tinnitus, haha! I clearly understand your math point. Thank you for getting me to think about it. Would you concede that it is possible when someone says "20 times better" they mean exponentially, not times 20? Regardless, we agree on the futility. Again, communicating with words alone is less than optimal. I pledge to buy you a drink if the Spirit of the Thrasher ever causes our paths to cross. Cheers.

Whatever. 20 times better sounding is a ridiculous thing to say. Could your photography be 20 times better? He sounds like the stereotypical old hippie when he says silly shit. I bow to your superior mathematics knowledge.

I knew that was what you meant, A-man. I apologize if I seemed seemed insulting. Chalk it up to only the words but no non-verbal cues. I am an old guy believing that face to face communication is better. But not 20 times better. Ha ha. The interview would have been 20 times better if one of the interviewers had said, "Woah! 20 times better sound? Jesus, Neil, what in Hell would that sound like? Could you give me an analogy? I can't wrap my head around it". I understand the "gazillion dollars" analogy but learned people speaking, supposedly, intelligently on a subject that is dear to them, sh

Regardless of my alleged error, 20 times better still means not twice as better, not three times as better, not 4 times as better, but twenty times better. Seriously? Imagine the ugliest person on Earth. Saying that they could be 20 times uglier or 20 times better looking is just silly. It is equally silly to want something to sound 20 times better. Also, A-man, when you say that he is right about the sound, do you mean that it can be 20 times better, that vinyl is now 20 times better so upgrade digital to that lofty standard or just simply that digital sound isn't as good as it could be?

I found this to be an interesting read: http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2012/02/01/146225653/why-don-cornelius-matters I had know idea that he did Soul Train without white money backing him. I laughed at how James Brown couldn't believe it.

20 times better. Wow. He actually said that. 20 times better. What digital music sounds like now, times itself, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that, then times that. That would sound like... Hell, who knows? Fidelity of that kind could bring about world peace, end the need for sex, elicit the Second Coming, raise the dead, cure c

Ross, Unfortunately, it seems as though you have not spent much time at VC. If you had, then you would have known that, no matter how well intended and benign your thread may be, it would result in most of the above. Best of luck.

Any thoughts regarding the "standing vs. shitting" debate?

I figured that choo-choo-charlie would have already posted this but... if anyone is interested, here is the new album. http://www.npr.org/2...s-on-the-bottom It's cute and I do not mean that derisively. I love Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive.

http://www.jayfarrar...r=asc= This is a thread about the Dogtown Sessions from jayfarrar.net It should give you a decent idea if purchase is worth it to you. I think the best thing about it is that, as you heard, Space Junk, et al, are gone. The remaining Dogtown version songs aren't that different but the album is better. Unlesss you want to give Jay some money, you can make your own Junk-free mix.

Read above your post.

You are correct. It does say alot about me. I love music. It has played an important role in my life since childhood, thanks mom and dad, but I have never felt so connected to a band that my admiration for the band and it's music became my life. I cannot relate to that. Therefore, to me, it was strange - a definition of weird - to be approached by a complete stranger telling me that someone I had no connection to, had died. I agree with you that, to this individual, it was as though a family member had died and he was simply sharing the bad news with other family members. I can certainly under

I changed after Brent died. It has been difficult to think of rabid Dead fans in a positive way ever since his death due to the following experience. In July 1990, I was vacationing alone in Germany, Switzerland and France. When I was in Frankfurt, Germany hanging out in the area with all of the beer gardens, I had a bizarre encounter. I had hair halfway down my back at the time, so I can only assume that I looked like a Deadhead. Why? Because I was suddenly accosted by a German dude and he said, "Have you heard the news, brother?". I replied, "What news?". He put a hand on my shoulder, looked

Ha ha. I didn't think that it was you, just attempting to be a smartass.

www.jayfarrar.net I rarely post there anymore but at one time I was akin to Sir Stewart, bobbob or cryptique in terms of post count. I think that I am still 3rd or 4th there in total posts. In it's heyday, until, oh 2008 or 9, there were rabid Jay-acolytes that became apoplectic with every Wilco/Tweedy-related thread. "This a Farrar board", "Tweedy sucks", blah, blah, blah. They are all gone now or at least have mellowed allowing Tweedy/Wilco to be discussed in a civil, mostly positive manner. Plenty of Wilco fans there but plenty of non-Tweedy fans also. Now it is a place for calm, rational m

Mr. Choo, I am insulted. Mr. Lamrod, thank you. Also, re bobegan.com, if your website leads with your 2009 tour schedule, then you aren't doing as well as bobeganentertainment.com.

No tears for Bob. He's doing (and looking) fine. http://www.bobeganentertainment.com/

... and Jeff walked out with Jay's girlfriend.

Further proof that sexuality is often amorphous.
